Carry on folks.
I think you have fallen into a trap set for you.
With the name of the thread, why would you hesitate to talk about your faith here? If not in a thread with this name, then where? crazy
What I find ironic is the non-believers that find ways to disrupt a thread that they have no apparent interest in, other than disrupting the thread of course. Then a christian finds it in his heart to call the use of Gods word to refute ridiculous notions thrown out by obvious antaganists Bible thumping and cramming it down their throats.
The thread title is "What about those who never heard the Word?" Wouldn't you go to Gods word to answer what God reveals about the question? Would you consider that Bible thumping or simply answering the question posed using Gods word?
To do less is to fall for the disruption the non-believers try so hard to inject in every single thread discussing theological issues. I suggest you reconsider whether or not you want to call this "Bible thumping" in light of it's title and the pretty obvious intent of the non-believers to derail the whole discussion.
Your response to Scott F is fantastic. The idea that God cannot be proved is ludicrous when one uses the laws of logic. And where did the laws of logic come from? They certainly didn't evolve. Evolution is based on the very idea of constant change. The laws of logic are immutable, , eternal, abstract - that is not physical in a physical world, because they reflect God's thinking. When you push evolution back and back and back you get to a scientifically contradicting position, based on the basic scientific principal of cause and effect and the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics. When you push creation back and back you get to a scientifically satisfactory position the cause is greater than the effect just as Infinite is greater than finite.
Like you posted from God's Word in Romans 1 God is evident.
